This is a family hotel and the people running it are super nice and open to answer all the questions you have and to help in anything you need. We went with the pickup from the airport and they picked us with a flower necklace. When we arrived to the hotel we got a complimentary drink and a typical sweet while they told us the history of the hotel and gave us some information. Afterwards they took us to the room which was clean and beautiful. We had enough space for our two luggages and the bed is very comfortable. Breakfast is not buffet but it is great and very abundant. You get some yogurt with cereals, some sweet, bread, eggs in the form you like and something like cheese or ham and also a juice. Everyday is a bit different and it is very tasty. The hotel has a swimming pool, a small garden and a jacuzzi. We didn't use it because it was not very warm. All in all the hotel is super charming and in the town, close to restaurants and shops and only 10min walking to the coast. It was the perfect ending for our trip, we really felt like we were at our grandma's house

The only thing I could say is that the bathroom didn't have hangers for the towels, but just for saying something.

Intimate, comfortable, with a great secluded feel. The staff are absolutely amazing. The name Hare Nua translates to Grandmother’s House, and it feels just like that. Staying here made our visit to Rapa Nui go from a 9 star to an 11. I can’t imagine visiting Rapa Nui and staying anywhere else. It’s been a day since Valerie and I left, and I already miss them. The included breakfast is a great start to your day. I know that we weren’t the most important guests there, but you would never know that from how you are treated. Maybe we were …

I tried to find something negative to say, since no one believes a review that is completely positive, but I am truly at a loss as to something negative to highlight.

The ladies at reception were lovely, very friendly and helpful. Lots of tips and help with bookings for local experiences. The breakfast was charming, with a variety of treats - fresh fruit, yogurt, granola, jams, fruit juice and you can order eggs. Best part of breakfast were the fresh baked roles - still warm out of thr oven. Room was comfortable and spacious, and bathroom was modern. Our room was along the street so there was some noise from motorized vehicles - for sensitive sleepers I would ask for a room away from the street.

The hotel's location is very central - on the main street with plenty of shops, supermarkets, bars, restaurants around and just 10 min walk from the airport. The venue is really beautiful with its own garden that idyllic and has many tropical fruit trees. The room was of decent size, very clean and comfortable with own balcony overlooking the garden. Plenty of common area space to relax with water available everywhere. We also appreciated the "Honesty Bar" where we could get any drinks or snacks on our own and just write down what we took that was billed at the check-out, including the Nespresso coffee. All the staff were very nice and welcoming, we also got the tour and some history of this hotel that was the very first accommodation many summers back. Many guests previously mentioned dogs on the streets and roosters in the morning, they did not bother us at all... after all, this is how the island is! The dogs are everywhere on Rapa Nui, not only on the street of the hotel and they are very friendly and relaxed. The roosters are more or less the same. The communication before the arrival was very useful with good advice and suggestions. The tours we booked with the hotel in advance also were great and had good value. Overall we definitely would recommend this hotel to stay at. The farewell gifts also found nice place in our home.

The breakfast is a la carte and not something we like, but the food was fresh every time, though with limited choice. We would appreciate to have espresso as a choice of coffee for breakfast, but it was not a big deal for us as we could get it from the "Honestly Bar". The kitchen smell in the mornings during the breakfast service could be an issue, but not a huge deal.

Wonderful welcoming staff, including the owner. They gave us a welcome drink and snack while giving us info about our stay. The owner shared the story of the inn and how his grandmother built her home and started boarding visitors decades ago. The staff were very helpful with planning privately guided tours and information about restaurants and shows, even getting us seats at a sold out dance revue. Breakfasts were really beautiful, delicious, and plentiful. Their lovely facility is in a convenient location for walking through town to the ocean, shows, and restaurants. The landscaping, decor and architecture of the inn were beautiful. And the bed was comfortable, which adds to good night's rest so we could enjoy each day fully.

There was street noise from an occasional loud motorcycle at night, but the balcony room with street view (and lush tropical landscaping) was worth it.

There are no words to explain what staying at Hare Nua Boutique Hotel was....but I will try. This is one of the best destinations and best hotels I have ever stayed at. It is not about how comfortable the room was, which it was. It is not about how good the breakfast was, which it was. It is not about how professional they were...Hare Nua is all that you expect of a good hotel, but what makes it stand out from the rest is the feeling of community that they bring. The welcome with flowers and local desserts, how the staff tells you about how they live their culture and invite you to be a part of it. They are problem-solvers too, when we had a mixup with one of the shows, they helped us book it and gave us an amazing experience for me and my mom. Being gifted with a Moai protector as we said farewell was such a special detail too. This hotel is the right decision. Iorana e Maururu Hare Nua.

The staff are an asset to the hotel, warm, friendly and supportive. They made my husband’s day when they sang happy birthday & bought him a cake out at breakfast, even the chef was there. Highly recommended this hotel with its comfortable rooms & great location. They also went out of their way to help us when our suitcases didn’t arrive on the flight that we did!

Only issue is that the walls are a little thin so if your room is next to a room with a baby or small children, they effect your sleep.

Hare Nua is such a beautiful property, featuring a lush green garden in its tranquil courtyard. It is very well-decorated and maintained. Our room was clean and very comfortable. Having an AC is definitely a plus! We were also deeply touched by the warmth and hospitality shown to us by the staff whose genuine kindness made our experience all the more memorable. Their thoughtful gesture of arranging a little birthday surprise for my wife truly went above and beyond our expectations. The location of this hotel couldn't be more ideal, making exploring the town a breeze, with restaurants and shops easily accessible on foot. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Hare Nua to any family or friends planning a visit to Rapa Nui.

The wifi is spotty at night.

Absolutely everything! The welcome was magical; we had a soft drink and a delicious piece of banana cake while the lady was explaining how the hotel works. The lobby, the garden, everything is absolutely beautiful. There are a lot of spots to read, relax and enjoy the life. You don’t feel like a client, but like a part of the family. At the end of your stay you get a little goodbye gift :) The room is absolutely perfect. So comfy, so cute, and the products in the bathroom are amazing too! Everything is perfectly clean. The hotel is well located; you are close to everything!

The only thing was that we could hear our neighbour snore… but I think the walls are all pretty thin on the island (we started our vacation in another accommodation).

Everything!! Location was fantastic and so convenient we could have walked to and from airport if we didn’t have luggage also short walk to cafes, groceries, waterfront & car rentals. The attention to detail, warm and friendly staff. Maria picked us up from the airport and showed us around the area and always made us feel at home. Sebastian was awesome and easy to chat with and basically all the staff were great! Our room overlooked the town and we loved it.

That we didn’t stay long enough. Only 4 nights and it went super quick. Was sad to leave.
